Well... the reasons why HTTP/1.1 was created in the first place. There used to be a page on http://www.w3c.org/ where the rationale was explained. I cannot find it anymore but it's not surprising given that the version 1.1 of the standard is almost 10 years old. One of the main points I remember was socket reuse: while in HTTP/1.0 the socket is discarded at the end of every reply, it can (and should: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec8.html#sec8.1) be reused in HTTP/1.1. Also, it's possible to make conditional requests (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.3.5) which reduce the net traffic. I agree, though, that properly implementing HTTP/1.1 is a real pain, both for a client and for a server. I will probably try to implement a subset of it soon (in APL, though).
